Flashback

Previous Chapter

Ember Spark was alone mopping the barracks and cleaning - alone except for one unlucky recruit having to babysit her. In frustration Ember saw two fellow classmates walking by swung the mop like a broad sword flooring the both of them. the classmate assigned to babysit Ember rushed forward to grab Ember and the two Ember hit leapt up and attacked: This felt familiar Ember Spark recalled.

Ten Years Prior

Ember Spark hated her step siblings, whenever her mother wasn't around they'd bully her to no end and she always ended up best up. Her stepfather didn't stop his kids and her mother couldn't do anything to protect her. School for Ember was no better, always four times a week and multiple times a day Ember got jumped and mauled. As time progressed, no one noticed that Ember was building her strength and stamina. Ember Spark's bullies were at least a foot taller than her and weighed more. Ember at home developed a rabid survival instinct and she became a torrential storm. The day Ember won her first fight was with her bullies who had jumped her; furthermore, it was a eight to one ratio and Ember managed to win but looked like complete shit.

Ember Spark went from being the prey - to being the hunter.

Eight Years Prior

Ember stood toe to toe with her stepfather, her mother behind her and her stepsiblings on the ground bleeding from where she used her teeth to tear small chunks of flesh loose. "Quit bashing my mother you stupid motherfuckin' cunt." Ember said as she stared down the two hundred fifty pound stallion of muscle.

The stallion slapped her so hard and with such force she crumpled up. Ember Spark leapt up when her rage kicked in after the initial shock. She tore into the stallion with such veroscity that no matter how many times she got slammed into the wall or onto the ground she got up and attacked. She finally won when she tore one of the stsllion's ears off.

Ember Spark - Age 14

Ember stood in the lines of a correctional facility again, ever since she was eight she was always in trouble with the law and now in the Juvy system. She was arrested for killing her stepsiblings in one of their many fights. Her mother finally passed away when the stress and horrors of home got to her. Ember's stepfather was mauled to death by her own hands. Ember was had it on her records of bad choices to run with gangs and vandalizing property. Ember was on special watch as she was also into cutting herself - what had brought this on was her guilt of not protecting her mother better. Many kids in the juvenile system nicknamed her "Rabid Demon".

Ember Spark - Age 15

Ember Spark was arrested this time for assaulting a cop when he had searched her for stolen merchandise from a store. Besides juvenile Ember was falling behind in her school grades and by the kindness of her judge Ember was having a rough go in military schools. Besides her fights in Juvy her abuse was always getting worse than prior years.

Ember Spark stood front of a female pegasus and the female pegasus stood at a heigh of five feet ten inches compared to Ember's four feet eleven inches. Voices around the pair were audible. "Quartz is insane to face off with the Rabid Demon!" and other phrases were also going around.

Ember never threw the first hit in her fights so she could attempt to call it self defense. "Look bat bitch, move aside."

"Nope" Ember said flipping off the pegasus and spitting on her. Quartz swing hard and fast and Ember dodged and countered. The fight ended as it usually did with Ember in solitary confinement and battered by the guards.

Ember - Age 17

Ember now seventeen and drawing up on her eighteenth birthday had been held back due to bad grades. News came up the grape vine that she was going to the toughest military school there was and it was her finally her last chance. Ember was covered in scars from her years of fighting and losing most her fights since she was sixteen; tin addition, these scars included her suicide attempts. Ember knew when she turned eighteen she was legally an adult and those guards she heard were perverts.

Current Time four months prior

Ember was in solitary confinement again awaiting to be sent to her knew school. Ember being eighteen meant that the guards took to her quickly, sometimes one or two - but since turning eighteen and for the past month it was one or two like before but more frequently it was usually five or more. She knew it usually depended on when the guards had their breaks and had time to abuse her sexually. Ember was always locked in solitary confinement for assaulting her guards while trying to protect herself.

Current Time

Her two classmates struggled to keep her on the ground while her other classmate tried desperately to separate them all. Emebr Spark froze as she saw movement and she was tackled by Sgt Zipp and the other two got tackled by Shining Armor and Zephyr Breeze. The classmate, a unicorn named Topaz leaned on the wall bleeding from her nose, and a dislocated shoulder. "Damn you Ember Spark! They should just fucking try you as an adult and give you life with parol!"

Zipp had to yell to be heard, "Topaz! Quiet over there, don't make things worse!" This fight was different, Ember just collapsed to the ground and and just knelt there, her memories of how she got to where she was were flooding in.

Ember wondered if she could out run her past and rise like a Phoenix like some of the other officers and ncos wanted her to do.
